ianukFriday I managed to leave work a bit early and then hit some errands before heading to the gym. I had a really good work out and then stopped off at the store to pick up final stuff for enchiladas. With the tummy protruding now I'm not able to carry 2 twelve packs of beer home for the hubby. Sighs. The sacrifices of pregnancy not being able to bring so much beer home to the hubby. Lol. The best thing about the gym though I was able to do a 14:24 mile and I ran all but the first 2 minutes. It felt great. I've also figured out that due to pregnancy I now have the lung capacity of a normal person..wow, that much oxygen makes me feel awesome!
Maria and Mel were working on shoes when I got home and I put together the beef, hatch green chile and been enchiladas. They turned out awesome. Especially with the tortialls I had from the craft fair. Had dinner and I did not work on projects, I relaxed which was nice. Mel and I were in bed by 11pm and I had a nice snuggle beforehand with the heat pack (I also got at the craft fair) for my shoulders and cocoa.
Saturday we slept in and then had toast and coffee before heading out to Tuff Shed to finalize the workshop. The site survey will be today and then we will give them monies and the process starts. Which means sometime very soon we will need some help getting the back yard up to snuff. I see a trip to the dump and needing to move Mel's truck and Richard's trailer so things can get in. Its gonna take some work but I think it will be awesome.
After that Tuff Shed we headed to Target to get things for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meowandbark's baby shower and look at things. It was really the first time we've actively looked at baby stuff together to get a feel for what we want and what we like and don't like. Mom called during it and that was fun. Mel was hungry so we tried Monkey Burger in Williams Center. It was very, very nummy. Good burgers and the bottle beer selection was also tasty. Their fries are parsley/salt seasoned and they give you lots of them. I took home leftovers.
We then headed to ToysRUs, BabiesRUs and got to test drive a few things. Plus mel got some more ideas on the crib/bed he's going to make. Didn't see much sheep stuff but we didn't get down into the toys or clothes either. Becca and Rob's recommendation for a stroller was right on. Jeep makes good things. Also found two car seats that we liked so that is also good. Won't be getting anything till after christmas though since we don't have storage right now. After that it was time to head home. I put my feet up and I'm not sure what else. We watched tv and mel finished his latest pair of socks. I did manage to do some embroidery before bed.
Got up on Sunday morning and I felt really good. My hands were feeling really good too. Headed to Joe's for breakfast and got joined by Will and Raylee. Good times there. Got home and mel headed to the shop. My goals for the day were to pick up the house. Its been pretty untidy of late and I started in my studio and cleaned things up, put things away and got it, the guest room and the front room pretty well set. I even managed to get my noro scarf blocked, my socks handwashed and my spinning from the Tour de Fleece washed up. The family room and bathrooms still need a bit more attention but I got my laundry all put away and have almost my side of the bedroom up to my standards. Hopefully in the next few days I can get things worked out and cleaned up. Its helpful to get rid of the clutter. Plus it also allowed me to decorate for Halloween which was also fun.
Got the 4th flower almost done last night in the embroidery and that makes me happy. I'll have to take it with me on travel to finish the 5th one up on time but it will be fine. Just have to do things in short bursts to keep the thumb in check. Got a nice visit from Tati and Mingo and we all watched the new BBC Sherlock Holmes on PBSHD last night. OMG SQUEE!!!
I think my fav line was "No, I'm a high functioning sociopath!" which was Holmes describing himself. I could not help be struck by all of the fun Dr. Who, Torchwood fan fic that could be combined with this incarnation of Holmes. Seriously fun. Definitely on the watch list for the next while. So enjoyable and the writers definitely know the cannon. Oh, and they kept the same sets from the Jeremy Brett version which made me so happy. After that it was time for bed. I slept pretty good once I got to sleep. Poor mel was stuffy and kept snoring and I guess didn't get a good night sleep. Poor guy.
Course that now brings us to today which is our 7th Wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Honey!
Man I still love that dress. And unlike the day we got married when it was 85 outside its cool fall weather today. We're gonna have a nice sushi dinner tonight and relax.
So happy week everyone!
